So, as O'Connell was breakfasting, the door opened, and two or three English reporters — Gurney, and among others our well-known friend Russell of Bull Run notoriety-entered the room and said, Mr. O'Connell, we are the reporters of the Times. And, said Russell, we dared not enter that crowd. Should n't think you No, sir, said he; we hardly dared to ask for any. Should n't think you would, answered O'Connell; sit down here.

O God, let this lesson be enough! Spare us any more such costly teaching! This deed is but the result and fair representative of the system in whose defence it was
